UFC President Dana White made the announcement Thursday morning on a media call.

Henderson has been forced to withdraw from the event due to a partially torn MCL. According to White, light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones has reportedly turned down a replacement fight with Chael Sonnen.

Jones will now fight Lyoto Machida on September 22nd in Toronto, Ontario. The event, which was called UFC 152, will now be UFC 151.
